SSH Key Authentication Data ONTAP 8.1.1

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to configure SSH Key Authentication to a FAS2220 with Data ONTAP 8.1.1 from a Solaris box, I want to automate tasks sending commands to the filer triggered by Crontab from the Solaris box, I found this on the Support site: https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=1011670 those instructions are for a Windows client box, but my client is Solaris.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.

I've dropped a note to a couple members of the security team - hopefully they'll respond directly.
